Living machine à la Havane


Lors d’une mission à la Havane (voir document ci-joint), j’ai rencontré Ricardo Sanchez, un sympathique biologiste marin de l’Institut océanographique. Accidenté au travail et maintenant en chaise roulante, Ricardo a aménagé un écosystème dans son petit jardin, incluant une micro production de poisson pour rapprocher la mer de lui étant donné qu’il ne pouvait plus se déplacer vers elle. Il s’est aussi rapproché de sa mère qui entretient pour lui sa machine vivante. En plein cœur de la Havane, sur une butte rocailleuse et aride, ce jardin de type permaculture produit poissons, lapins, poules, légumes, fruits et plantes médicinales en plus d’adoucir le climat et d’embellir son milieu de vie.
